Abstract

PURPOSE: This paper explores the application of Apple Vision Pro in ophthalmic surgery, assessing its potential benefits in providing real-time imaging overlay, surgical guidance, and collaborative opportunities. MATERIALS AND METHOD: The device was worn by 10 ophthalmic surgeons during eyelid malposition surgery. All surgeons performed the entire surgery while wearing the visor. At the end of procedure, all operators had to rate Apple Vision Pro visor according to 10 specific item and system usability scale (SUS) questionnaire. RESULTS: The surgeons used the Apple Vision Pro during the entire procedure, and the results were positive, with high ratings for practicality, freedom of movement, integration into workflow, and learning. All surgeons rated the Apple Vision Pro above 85/100 in the SUS. CONCLUSION: The incorporation of Apple Vision Pro in oculoplastic surgery offers several advantages, including improved visualization, enhanced precision, and streamlined communication among surgical teams. According to our preliminary results Apple Vision Pro could represents a valuable tool in ophthalmic surgery, with implications for enhancing surgical techniques and advancing XR research in the surgical field.
